One evening after work Zaky said he was hunger so I offered
to cook for him. I made a quick egg stew with rice and served it to him while I
took out the trash. When I was putting the trash bag into the big bin outside I
saw a piece of paper that looked like a blueprint of a building. I was just about
to ignore it when I saw "Out of service camera" written with an arrow
next to it. It looked like our office building. Very few people knew that the stairway
camera wasn't working and I remember telling Zaky. I pulled out the paper and
watched it closely. It was really a blueprint of our workplace! My heart started racing when I heard Zaky call
my name from inside. I quickly folded the blueprint, put it in the back pocket
of my jeans and rushed back.
"Wow that was one awesome meal. You never told me you
could cook this good. I’ll miss this." Zaky said and I smiled. “Why are
you going somewhere?” I asked a little confused. He shrugged and said he meant
when he finally went back to the head office. I almost forgot about the blueprint. He put
his empty plate into the kitchen sink and walked to me. It was when he put his
hands around my waist that I remembered it was still in my pocket.
He kissed me on the
forehead and rested his hands right on my butt. My heart missed a beat when he
stopped and said, "What's that in your pocket?" It was too late to
stop him. He pulled it out. He looked at the blueprint and turned to look at
me. My heart was pounding and to my surprise he was very calm. "I guess
you are wondering why I have this." He said. I wasn't sure what to say. He
let out a heavy sigh. "Let me show you something." He said holding my
hand and leading me to his bedroom. All sorts of scenarios played around in my
head.
Zaky sat me down on his bed and pulled out something from his
bedside drawer. My heart calmed down a little when I realized it was an ID
card. He gave it to me. It had his picture on it but the name was Derrick Sowah.
It was a company ID card, FX Security to be precise and it said Derrick Sowah, Security
Analyst. "My name is not Zaky. I'm Derrick. I work as a security analyst.
Your company hired me to test all their security systems. What I do is I go to
the company, see how
good their security systems are and submit a report. I know it's a lot to
process and I'm really not supposed to be sharing this information. Employees
are not to know until I leave. I could easily get fired." He said. I
looked at the ID card and turned back to him. I slowly absorbed what he said.
This really was a lot to process. I tried to run this
information by what Kafui told me. It sort of made sense; the fake CV and the
secrets. Then it hit me. He may have been with us just to see if we will allow
him to have access to the cctv cameras and I don't know about her but I gave
him everything. He had the password and full access to surveillance system at
work because I was sprung. I trusted him with it. Then my heart skipped a beat.
Did he even really like me? "So this thing with us was just your job?"
I asked with a little quiver in my voice. He seemed surprised. "You think
I used you? No I didn't." He said. I stood up dropping the ID card on the
floor. "I should have known. A guy like you will never be interested in a
girl like me." I said, walking out.
